Samurai Shodown Sen - Xbox 360

In the midst of chaos and upheaval, the Lord of Amori-han bravely chooses to raise an orphaned European princess as his own daughter.

The insidious Golba, a veteran of the U.S. Revolutionary War, ranks para among her foes, and a cadre of like-minded fighters flock to Japan to halt his dark plans for global domination. Familiar faces from past Samurai Shodown games (including Haohmaru, Nakoruru, and Ukyo) battle alongside newcomers from all corners of the Earth to put an end to Golba’s villainous designs. Victory on this crucial conflict comes by any means necessary even if it means ending a melee with grisly dismemberment or decapitations.
